Awards Quotes
As the race evolved, we wanted to highlight all the great miles of trails in Durango. As more and more people came to us and said, 'Hey, we want to do both races,' we decided to create the special awards and went so far as to change the name of the race. We're really marketing the double this year.

Cable Quotes
At some point on the Hudson River, you might have 154 miles of fiber-optic cable that connects remote sensors to a central point. For researchers, that would be an invaluable source of information.

Ball Quotes
Coming back from shoulder surgery you don't want to change the type of pitcher you are but I definitely don't get away with as many mistakes as I used to when I was able to throw the ball 95-96 miles an hour.

Days Quotes
I spoke to Dr. Hogan and Dr. Bramlage yesterday, and they said the X-rays were really good, ... Dr. Bramlage gave us the OK to start galloping him. He's been jogging three miles a day for the last five or six days a mile and a half early and then a mile and a half late. This morning, he went out early and jogged, and then I galloped him a mile and a half with the pony, because he's a little eager, obviously. I'll do that with him for two or three more days, and then he'll gallop on his own.

Absolutely Quotes
I urge you to act here and now to begin to rectify the natural gas supply and demand imbalance. Opening Lease Sale 181 in the Gulf of Mexico is an important step in the right direction.

We are talking about activity 100 miles or more offshore that will not be seen, heard or smelled. No tankers, no barges, no spills. I live in a coastal state, and I appreciate the need to protect our beaches, but I know this is no threat.

Both Quotes
Running both series helped me in a bunch of ways. The first thing is I just got to race more. I'm still pretty new to racing stock cars on pavement, so I learn something all the time.
